We are back from summer break! So much has happened in the running world in July and Ben opens the show with an update on American records, coaching changes, and more. Then we hear about his marathon debut at the daunting Grandfather Mountain Marathon in Boone, NC. For our main course we share ideas on when and how to return from a running hiatus. Have you been injured, sick, overstressed, overworked, or lacking motivation? We help you find the best course for a successful comeback.
